Mexico's foreign trade in the fis- cal year 1913, which is the latest for which data are available, amounted to $248,000,000 $150.000'000 of which represented exports, and $98,- 000,000 imports. The Uniteq States took 77 per cent of the exports and supplied 50 per cent of the imports. The Mexican navy consists of three cruisers, four gunboats and three harbor service craft. The men who man these vesselg are said to be the most poorly trained in the world. Although Mexico boasts some clever generals and brave soldiers the repu- tation of her naval officers and ma rines is most unenviable.
